At nearly every farm I am at it strikes me of what an immense labor of love farming or ranching is. It’s a labor of love for the land and the food grown, and for the livestock raised. It’s a labor of love for the farmHers life. No matter what type or size of farm, it’s always a love that is there and that love was very much alive and kicking at the Boxcar Farm and Garden in Maxwell, Texas.

Did y’all know Texas has fire ants?! I think I may have vaguely heard of them here or there, but we don’t have them in Iowa, so why pay close attention?! Well, I’ll tell you why you should pay attention…because they live up to their name!
